Resveratrol-50
What is Resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a naturally occurring nutrient produced by many
plants. It's commonly referred to as the "red wine nutrient" because
resveratrol is present in the skin of red grapes.
Why Should I Take Resveratrol?
"The breadth of benefits (of resveratrol) is remarkable – cancer
prevention, protection of the heart and brain from damage, reducing
age-related diseases such as inflammation, reversing diabetes and
obesity, and many more,” states the author of a study published in
September 2009 at ScienceDaily.com.
The antioxidant properties in resveratrol may help protect healthy
cells and maintain optimal health. “Antioxidants like resveratrol are
beneficial in preventing harmful elements in the body from attacking
healthy cells,” as cited in “The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The
Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why” by Jonny
Bowden, and referenced at naturalnews.com.
The same reference source also states that “Resveratrol may be one of the best antiaging substances around.”
According to the MayoClinic.com, “Resveratrol might be a key
ingredient in red wine that helps prevent damage to blood vessels,
reduces "bad" cholesterol and prevents blood clots.”
Are Resveratrol Capsules Better than drinking Red Wine?
You can get the benefits of resveratrol from our capsules or red
wine. However, there’s a significant difference in the amount of
resveratrol in each source.
A glass (8 oz.) of red wine contains about 1280 mcg of resveratrol. A
single capsule of our Resveratrol-50 yields 50,000 mcg of resveratrol.
What are the Benefits of Resveratrol?

- Revitalizing nerve cells
- Reducing buildup of plaque in arteries
- Lowering LDL cholesterol levels
- Maintaining healthy weight
- Supporting longevity and anti-aging
- Promoting brain and kidney health by protecting against oxidative stress and high blood cholesterol

What Research Supports the Cancer Fighting Abilities of Resveratrol?
As cited on NaturalNews.com the book "The Natural Pharmacy: Complete
Home Reference to Natural Medicine" by Schuyler W. Lininger, Jr. DC
states "A series of laboratory experiments suggests that resveratrol
inhibits the development of cancer in animals and prevents the
progression of cancer. However, human research is still needed in this
area. In another set of animal studies, resveratrol was shown to inhibit
both the acute and chronic phases of inflammation."
The same website also cites the book "PDR for Nutritional
Supplements" by Sheldon Saul HendlerRorvik. "A partial estrogen receptor
agonist itself, resveratrol is believed by some researchers to be an
estrogen-receptor antagonist in the presence of estrogen, resulting in
breast cancer inhibition."
Additionally, research at the University of Illinois Chicago found
that animals given resveratrol showed a halt in the growth of damaged
cells, which reduced the threat of cancer.
What Research Supports the Anti-Diabetic Capabilities of Resveratrol?
Scientists at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in
Dallas recently released results of a study that showed resveratrol many
have anti-diabetic properties. The full story is available at NaturalNews.com.
